Time for Cisco to Make Some Acquisitions?

I think it makes more sense for Cisco to acquire Polycom but that would be a big acquisition and I don't think looking at the economy Cisco would be interested in going for any big acquisition anytime soon. Specially after they announced around 2000 layoff to cut down on the OPEX.

As per the BlueCoat and RiverBed, I dont think Cisco will acquire another company whose product line overlaps with existing Cisco products.
